New to this site ad trying to figure out how it works. I am trying to post as a new member so I am hoping this goes thru. I am a senior adult and have just been diagnosed by the Drexil Vaginitis Center to have vulvodynia along with Vestibulitis (not sure if spelled correctly). My symptoms are vaginal burning, itching, soreness around the vaginal opening with one spot in particular. Some …

Today has been the day I've been waiting for. The day something FINALLY makes sense.
I've been told countless times that I've got nerve damage or a muscular condition, yet none of the specific treatments have helped me. My GP suggested attacking this from a different angle so referred me to a dermatologist specialist

Hello. Thank you for this wonderful site. I'm currently under the care of a dr in Phoenix that specializes in vaginal disorders. I will probably be on a suppository of estridol the rest of my life and I am currently on medications for a rare form of vaginitis that's pretty unheard of for my age. My vagina literally hates me. I've struggled with vulvadynia for 20 years, the duration of my …

I am wondering if anyone else in this forum has experience an increase or flare up in their vulvodynia as a result of the coverage of the sexual abuse scandals in Hollywood, DC, and the recent gymnastics scandal. I have definitely had a flare up.

Well I'm back in pain after 7 years of pain free days.
I was diagnosed with vulvodynia when I was 17. I suffered for three years with horrible burning all day, painful sex with my boyfriend and just pure misery I went into a spontaneous remission when I was 20. I'm still not sure how the pain stopped but all the sudden I could go an entire day without thinking of my vagina, sex started to …

Hi there. I'm 25 and have been dealing with this for over a year and a half and I'm really starting to lose hope this will ever stop.

In July of 2016 I had a yeast infection. When Monistat didn't work I went to my gynecologist who prescribed Diflucan. When the itching didn't stop she retested me and found that my yeast infection was gone, but I now had a bacterial infection. After taking the …

I was just wondering if anybody here has been doing physio But also taken medication at the same time ? Iv started physio been 3 weeks so far and she sees an improvement all ready in the tightness of my pelvic floor muscles and we are moving on to dialators on my next visit I think .

I still find that I have this slight burning irritation around the vulva skin inner thighs ect not as intense but still quite bothersome , I also have an apointment with my specialist this coming Thursday and she wants to start me on gapapentin ( sorry for bad spelling lol ). Physo and acupuncture don't think I should but I feel this may work better in conjunction ??? Has anyone else had any relief with a combination? I feel if I'm still burning and sore my muscles are just going to keep tensing tbh , I think mine is more generalized not in the vestibule just any help would be great thanks xxxx

Yeah !! The physio is going good tbh not as tense but a lot of irritation still unfortunately ! I gave fingers toes crossed something helps:) as I would like to enjoy a holiday or even the nice weather we are getting miss my denim shorts lol xxx

Yeah I have pain generaliEd but physio is helping a lot dialators are the next thing but i constantly have irritation raw burning :/ she thinks mine is muscle related and that should all subside gradually but tbh If this gapapentin helps speed the burning up why not while doing physio , 7 months it's been and it drains me in every way possible xxx
